NEW YORK, September 17, 2007 -- In this first season of the critically-acclaimed "The Sarah Silverman Program," Sarah gets hepped up on cough syrup, takes in a homeless man and poops her pants. With her unique perspective on life and her ability to turn just about everything into a song, find out why Sarah Silverman is an American treasure� an offensive, filthy-mouthed treasure. Released via COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment, "The Sarah Silverman Program: Season One" DVD arrives in stores nationwide on Tuesday, October 2 and will also be available at http://shop.comedycentral.com.

"The Sarah Silverman Program: Season One" DVD is a single disc containing all six episodes from the first season. Bonus material features musical performances, karaoke sing-a-long and audio commentary from the entire cast.

"The Sarah Silverman Program" stars Silverman who plays a character (aptly named Sarah Silverman) whose absurd daily life is told through narrative and an occasional song. In each episode, Sarah falls into unique, unsettling and always hilarious predicaments, with her sister (played by real-life sister Laura Silverman), her nerdy gay neighbors, Brian and Steve (Brian Posehn and Steve Agee) and dim-witted Officer Jay (Jay Johnston) never far from her side.

Follow Sarah and the rest of the gang in what is totally the best second season ever as she becomes romantically involved with God and decides to become �black� for a day to prove it�s harder to be Jewish. COMEDY CENTRAL's hit series, "The Sarah Silverman Program," returns for a second season on Wednesday, October 3 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.

The series is based on an idea by Silverman, Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab (Oscar-nominated �Monster House�). Silverman, Schrab, Heidi Herzon ("Jesus is Magic") and Dan Sterling (�The Daily Show�) are the executive producers. Schrab also serves as director of several of the episodes.
